ProteiOS for lumbar spinal fusion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new bone graft material called ProteiOS used during lumbar spinal fusion surgery. It aims to see if it helps the spine heal and reduces back and leg pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You need to have a degenerative spine problem (like a worn disc or narrowed spinal canal) that requires a 1- or 2-level fusion surgery.
- You have had at least 6 months of non-surgical treatment (or have sudden nerve problems that make surgery urgent).
- You must have moderate to severe back and leg pain (scored at least 4 and 3 out of 10, respectively).
- You cannot have had prior spine fusion surgery at the same level, or have severe bone thinning (osteoporosis), or a BMI over 40.

This trial compares two bone-graft materials to help bones heal after back fusion surgery using a rod/screw system. It may help people who have ongoing back or leg pain despite at least 3 months of non-surgical treatments.
This trial tests a new bone graft putty (Novosis Putty) used during a specific type of spine fusion surgery (TLIF) to treat a worn-out disc causing low back and leg pain. The goal is to see if it works as well as or better than current options.
This trial tests a new bone graft material called LDGraft for people who need a single-level lower back fusion (anterior lumbar interbody fusion). It aims to see if the new graft is as good as or better than current options for helping bones heal together.
This trial tests a new material called Kore Fiber that may help your lower back bones fuse together more effectively after spinal fusion surgery. It could improve your recovery and reduce pain.
This study compares different advanced materials used in a specific spinal fusion surgery (XLIF). It aims to see which implant material helps the bone fuse well and safely over time.
This study compares two types of spine surgery (ALIF or XLIF) for one spinal level, and tests how well the bones fuse when a specific bone-forming product is used. It also looks at how patients feel and function after surgery.
